Corpus Christi Procession

                       CORPUS CHRISTI                        Plenary Indulgence

Eucharistic Procession at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal today!
Corpus Christi, Also known as the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. This feast honors Jesus Christ, Really, Truly, and Substantially Present under the appearances of bread and wine. This Presence happens through the change which the Church calls transubstantiation (“change of substance”) when at the Consecration of the Mass, the priest says the words which Christ Himself pronounced over bread and wine, “This is My Body,” “This is the chalice of My Blood,” “Do this in remembrance of Me.” Plenary indulgences are available to the faithful on the Feast of Corpus Christi. An indulgence remits one’s temporal punishment in purgatory due to our sins. It may be either partial or plenary. It is partial if it pardons part of the temporal punishment due to sin, and plenary if it pardons all punishment.”The faithful who piously participate in solemn Eucharistic procession, either inside or outside of a Church, especially on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, may receive a plenary indulgence.A partial indulgence is granted for visiting the Blessed Sacrament for adoration or for offering any approved prayer to Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament.” (From The Enchiridion of Indulgences 59., 1968.)Requirements for Gaining a Plenary Indulgence◗ Perform/recite the prescribed work or prayer. ◗ Worthily receive Communion. (Preferably, the day of the act or prayer.)◗ Say one “Our Father” and the “Apostles Creed”.◗ Say one “Our Father” and one “Hail Mary” for the pope’s intentions (the intentions designated by the Holy Father each month).◗ Make a sacramental confession within 20 days.◗ For a plenary indulgence, one must be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin (or the indulgence is partial, not plenary).
